Word was brought here late last
evening that Fatty Carroll's woman
shot and severely wounded a woman

proprietor. No particulars were OBJ

Of the gun. The woman was
shot in the thigh, and
the wound while severe il not con-

be weakness among the women of
this part of the country to use the
pistol, and it is got so that there is
far greater danger of being perfor-
ated by a female than by even the

Nasty Little Riot at the Depot Yes
terday Afternoon.

A Nasty Little Riot at the Depot Yes
terday Afternoon,
AS rule Spokane Is remarkably
free from fistic encounters, consid.
ering the size Of the place, the float
ing population and the number of
liquor houses in existence, and even
when q row does break out officers
are generally promptly on hand to
squelch it. Yesterday afternoon,
however, there occurred a small
sized riot in the depot that was ex-
ceedingly lively while it lasted and
which was by far the most brutal
and disastrous of anything of the
kind that has occurred here for some
time. There were from dozen to
fifteen persons mixeds in ii, most of
them employees of the railroad, and
sore heads, discolored eyes and the
usual discolorations accompanying
such paStlmeS were conspicuous.
From on eye witness of the fracas
the reporter learned the following
particulars: 1t seems that a bar
keeper in town went to the depot
with man named Davis living
down on the Spokane Palouse branch
who was considerably under the in
f1uence of liquor, for the purpose of
seeing him Off on the PalOuse train.
One of the railroad men thinking
that the barkeeper wanted t. work
Davis for money, charged him
with being a bunko steerer
few words followed when the rail-
road man struck the barkeeper.
Then the trouble commenced.
More railroad men took hand and
some outsiders got mixed up in the
shindy, and for about five minutes
there was wild mixture of arms,
legs and bodies. The barkeeper is a
plucky one, but had no show with the
odds against him, and he was
knocked down several times and
kicked in the face. Even after be-
ing battered up terribly he offered
to fight any one man of the crowd
for money. Unfortunately there
was no officer present and the bloody
proceedings continued for several
minutes. Two other outsiders were
knocked down in the row but not
seriously hurt. No arrests have as
yet been made.
